I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

We are so back

If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

I’ve only said that I’d do it for a couple years now. Well I finally did it. The first of hopefully many

At the risk of getting blacklisted: anyone else feel like the vibes at GDC are going to be incredibly off this year? Disastrous industry conditions from corporate greed aside, we need to make GDC more accessible to ALL gamedevs, not imply that it's no longer a professional conference. I'm confused.

Man we really lost the plot didn’t we?

Industry: hey GDC, we need you to move out of San Francisco and the US at large because it's unsafe, deal with the still-too-common harassment issues, stop charging egregious for-profit fees, and for you to provide proper compensation for speakers

GDC: we hear you but best we can do is rename it

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

So many cowards and cynics on display right now. When the pendulum does swing back--and it will--don't forget where these sad and pathetic people stood in the hour of democracy's greatest need.

This is extortion live on TV

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
